Synopsis

The new edition of the Dictionary of Nursing Theory and Research has been thoroughly revised and updated - adding numerous new terms while retaining and revising all of the original entries.

From a review of the first edition:

"An excellent collection of information essential to all nurses, not only those involved in research but also practising nurses interested in innovation and change . . . as well as being an indispensible addition to the reference section of any nursing library, many nurses will find this book so essential to their own private study that individual purchase must be highly recommended" - Nursing Times

From the Back Cover

"

An essential reference, particularly for students who encounter nursing theory and research courses in their educational programs....In her foreword...Afaf Meleis states that it is the answer to a graduate student's prayers. I would certainly agree, and I would add that experienced researchers and theoreticians can use it as a handy reference for day-to-day scholarly activities.""--Nursing Education Perspectives

Updated terminology and the addition of many new terms with examples and references that reflect current nursing practice make this third edition of the Dictionary of Nursing Theory and Research a valuable accompaniment to the nursing student's or practitioner nurse's bookshelf. With the inclusion of research, theory, statistical, and epidemiologic definitions, as well as cross-reference notes at the end of each entry, this compilation is one of the most comprehensive and up-to-date nursing dictionaries available.
